i used to think,
growing old is all sunshine and rainbows.

i imagined how it was for me,
turning 20 has always been so magical,
in my head, back when i was 12.

now that i am 19,
turning 20 next year,
i can't seem to feel anything.

the numbness in my heart.
the never ending ache that i am carrying,
for years on,
that never ends.

i miss thinking that adults know everything.

now that my innocence was taken away from me,
at such an early age;
i wish to never grow old.

i want what i have lost given to me,
again; for the last time.
